Well that's interesting!
The difference a century can make? An Ontarian with more staying power as a Liberal in Alberta than in Ontario! Marshall was the three-term MLA for Olds from 1909 until his defeat in 1921, but the one-term Ontario MPP for Peel from 1934 until his defeat in 1937. Then again, he failed to enter the House of Commons for either an Ontario riding (Muskoka, 1904) or an Alberta riding (East Calgary, 1921), but was an Ontario Liberal senator from 1938 until his death in 1946.
